– REELZChannel is airing a documentary on Hulk and Linda Hogan’s marital issues and divorce as part of their new “Irreconcilable Differences” series. Here is the synopsis for the episode, which premieres Thursday, November 1 at 9 p.m. ET.
“Hulk Hogan’s trademark bandana look and catchphrase “Hulkamania is running wild, brother” endeared him to fans. He became the most recognizable and well-liked wrestler in the WWE soaring to international fame and fortune. But life on the road presented challenges for the marriage between Hulk and Linda Hogan. Travelling upwards of 300 days a year proved difficult for the young couple and Hulk was not always the ideal, faithful husband. In 2005, the family begin filming their VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best but life in the ever-increasing spotlight only magnifies the couple’s issues. Hulk thinks Linda’s drinking is out of control and Linda’s obsession over Hulk’s suspected infidelities is becoming all-consuming. The couple finally splits amidst one of the biggest media and celebrity scandals ever. It seems that Hulk’s tawdry liaison with a friend’s wife has not only ruined two marriages but becomes a benchmark case for freedom of the press. Reality show life coach Patrick Wanis will provide new insight as to what really went on behind the scenes of Hogan Knows Best where he worked directly with the Hogan family.”
Hulk and Linda Hogan settled their divorce back in 2007, but it seems the Hulkster is holding out on his ex-wife.
The Hogan’s Divorce Settlement
According to the DailyMail.com, this was the settlement of the Hogan’s divorce is as followed:
Hulk Hogan and Linda Bollea were married for 23 years but split in 2007
She was awarded 70% of their liquid assets plus properties worth $3m in divorce
Also handed an ongoing 40% share in the revenue from Hogan’s businesses
Linda now claims the 64-year-old wrestler is refusing to pay
She’s demanding he pay her 40% of his earnings or be held in contempt
Linda is claiming that Hogan is committing ‘financial treachery’ from many of his companies and assets in Florida and demands her percentage to be met from the divorce.
The Divorce was settled back in 2007 due to the fact that Hogan was unfaithful in their marriage and Linda could not put up with the decades of affairs no longer.
Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan) has yet to comment on the claim.
Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife, Linda, appeared on “Inside Edition” this week to address Hogan’s testimony in the ongoing Gawker sex tape trial. Linda says that she was an “honest, good wife” and demands an apology from Hulk. Here’s the letter:
Terry,
YOU have single handedly ruined our 25-year marriage and our family … my trust, my love, my future, our future family with grandchildren, holidays, weddings, our kids’ lives, homes, their ability to trust, our poor animals, friends, neighbors, your career, finances, trademarks, retirement, your legacy, your reputation, your health … even your soul … You lost it ALL.
You took me for granted and never appreciated me or our beautiful family … blaming me for your horrendous mistakes.
And yet you continue in life this very way, still .. Hiding behind those sunglasses, false smile , oh … and the bandana!
Until you can really apologize, to me … And to our children … I will never ever forgive you.

Linda Hogan, the ex-wife of TNA Impact Wrestling’s Hulk Hogan, has changed her plea in the DUI she was charged with in California last year.
Police said Hogan had a blood alcohol level of .084, which is over the legal limit of .08.
Hogan initially claimed to have only had one glass of champagne on an empty stomach while taking antibiotics. Hogan made a deal and got a second charge dropped, and was sentenced to three years probation, as well as three months of alcohol education classes.
Linda Hogan plead not guilty this morning to two counts of driving under the influence. She was arrested for DUI in Malibu, California after attending a jewelry event and had a blood alcohol level of .084, just over the legal limit.
After the arrest, a spokesperson for Linda said she only drank one glass of champagne before getting behind the wheel, but she had not eaten in several hours and had also taken antibiotics, which enhanced the effects of the alcohol.
Linda faces up to 18 months in jail if she’s convicted, but it’s unlikely she’ll do any jail time because she has no prior DUI convictions. She is due back in court on March 21st.
Hulk Hogan has addressed the backlash surrounding his controversial tweet on Sunday where he tweeted a revealing picture of his daughter Brooke’s legs.
Hulk hogan’s ex-wife Linda is facing jail time after being officially charged with DUI stemming from her October 2012 arrest.

After the arrest, a rep for Linda claimed that she only had “one glass of champagne (on an empty stomach) but had also been taking antibiotics, which enhanced the effects of the alcohol.
According to TMZ.com, the Los Angeles County District Attorney has charged Linda Bollea with 2 counts of DUI and one count of driving on a suspended license (also a misdemeanor).
She could face up to 18 months in jail, although it’s it’s unlikely she’ll receive that punishment since these are her first DUI charges. The case is scheduled to go before the judge later this month.

Eric Bischoff was not at Sunday’s TNA Final Resolution in Orlando due to “personal business” in Arizona, but noted on Twitter that will be back in Orlando for this week’s TNA television tapings.
Bischoff made his first public comments about the latest Hulk vs. Linda lawsuit:
“Been silent on the Hulk and Linda divorce since the beggining. Glad to hear he is filing a suit against her. She is a pig in every sense. Actually the only thing more disgusting than Linda Hogan is that pissant creepy little punk thats sleeping with that skank.”
Hulk Hogan has filed a defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Linda Bollea based on allegations she made about him in her recent autobiography “Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes.”
In the book, Hulk Hogan is portrayed as a violent, manipulative, cheating maniac who was physically and mentally abusive to her.
Linda also alleges that Hulk has had a homosexual relationship with Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake, a claim he has vehemently denied.
While being interviewed on television and radio earlier this year, Bollea dragged Hogan’s name through the mud once again.
“It scared me that he might just snap, not realize what he’s doing. He is just so strong. I thought he could kill me. He had his hands around my neck one time on the bed, and he started squeezing my throat. He just went into this trance, and I was looking at him and saying, ‘Terry, stop, stop. I can’t breathe.'”
Wil Florin, the ex-wrestler’s attorney, said, “He’s being accused of all sorts of vile conduct that he did not commit. Miss Bollea’s made enough of these outrageous allegations that it’s time they stop … The only realistic way of making them stop is through the court system.”
Linda Hogan insinuated this week that Hulk Hogan carried on an intimate relationship with longtime friend Brutus Beefcake. The ex-wife of the TNA Wrestling star appeared on Matty P’s Radio Happy Hour to pitch her recently released memoir, Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes. One question e-mailed into the show asked: “Do you believe that Hulk and Brutus Beefcake ever had an intimate relationship?” She replied:
“Wow, let me think about how to answer this so I don’t end up getting a lawsuit. A little bird told me, ‘Yes, they think they did.'”
Hogan responded to Linda’s remarks via Twitter and said he feels sorry for her.
“Feel sorry for Linda Hogan. I can’t believe how low a person will go, even to lie to hurt others just to stay in her perverted spotlight.”
“She will have to answer to the power upstairs for her evil lifestyle, I can only pray for her, what a wasted life, God bless her.”
— WWE Divas Champion Kelly Kelly revealed this afternoon on her Twitter account that she will be on hand for tonight’s SmackDown taping at the Mohegan Sun Arena.

— Vickie Guerrero revealed on Twitter that WWE will be releasing an “Excuse Me” T-shirt for both men and women.
— “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is featured on the cover of the latest issue of The Wrestler. The headline reads: “Tough Enough For One More Match?”
— Linda Hogan promotes her book, Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes, tonight on Showbiz Tonight. The program airs at 11:00 p.m. on HLN.
Linda Hogan appeared on the KQRS morning show on Wednesday to promote her new book. Linda spoke about a number of topics, including recent allegations by the Ultimate Warrior that she and Hulk Hogan had an “open marriage.’ She denies that claim and says based on what she’s heard, Warrior is gay.
“It’s shock value,” she said. “There’s no truth to it as far as I’m concerned. As far as my life and what I’ve done and where I’ve been, absolutely no truth to it at all. I don’t even know that guy. I’ve seen him behind the scenes at wrestling events back in the day. He’s never been to our house. My kids don’t know him. I’ve never met him other than hi or bye at an event. The truth is I don’t know what my husband said to him. I don’t know what they did behind the scenes. I wasn’t even aware what my husband was doing in our marriage behind the scenes recently. In fact, the rumor is that Warrior is gay.”
Linda was also asked about comparing herself to O.J. Simpson’s late wife Nicole during a recent interview, when she said Hulk Hogan was physically abusive towards her and didn’t want to wind up [dead] like Nicole Brown Simpson.
“No disrespect, I’m not comparing myself to her, I was comparing the situation. I put that message in my book. That’s what I wrote the book for was to put that message out to women that you have a decision. If you’re living in a marriage with abuse, and it can come in the form of infidelity, lying, and physical abuse, and as it escalates throughout the years, you tolerate some and it gets a little bit worse, and you tolerate that and it becomes the norm.”
Hulk Hogan has responded to his ex-wife Linda’s claims on the Today show that he was physically abusive towards her during their marriage – completely denying the claims and calling her “delusional.”
Hogan called into the Bubba The Love Sponge satellite radio show on Tuesday morning and gave his side of the story. Hogan said Linda told NBC host Matt Lauer a “cold, blatant lie” and explained that he has no reason to respond to Linda.
Hulk told Buba that Linda is “still riding on the Hulk Hogan name” and is just trying to exploit his popularity – like the Ultimate Warrior and the Iron Shiek. “They all belong together.”
You can listen to audio from the interview segment here, courtesy of Bubba The Love Sponge:
Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife Linda appeared on NBC’s Today show this morning and was interviewed by Matt Lauer to promote her new tell-all book, “Wrestling With The Hulk.”
The most newsworthy part of the interview is Linda claiming that Hulk was physically violent with her during their marriage, a claim we haven’t heard from her before.
Here’s a recap of her appearance, courtesy of SEScoops.com reader Mark Christie, as well as a video clip of the appearance:
– Matt Lauer started off by saying that they reached out to Hulk Hogan, but he had no comment. Linda was asked about her statements that drugs were rampant in the wrestling world during Hulk’s career. She said that drugs were always around the house, from painkillers to steroids. According to Linda, Hogan would often become violent, throwing chairs, smashing doors, and choking her.
– Linda stated that “Hogan Knows Best” was good for the family in that it brought them together during tough times. Their marriage ended shortly after the series was finished.
– Lauer then asked her about Nick Hogan’s role in the accident that seriously injured John Graziano. Linda actually said that the eight months that Nick received was too harsh of a sentence. Ugh! Lauer then concluded the interview by plugging the book.
– Overall, Linda came across as very self absorbed. She took no responsibility for her divorce, placing all the blame on Hogan. Watching her saying that Nick’s sentence was too harsh was truly nauseating. It seems that in her eyes, Nick is the golden child who can do no wrong. She showed no concern for Graziano, or his family.?Hopefully, her book will be in the dollar bin soon.
According to The National Enquirer, Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife Linda, 50, is engaged to wed boyfriend Charlie Hill, 29 years her junior. She met Hill two years ago following her divorce from the wrestling superstar.
It would appear that the former married couple have buried the hatchet as the wrestler added his well wishes regarding Linda’s engagement.
“I’m ecstatic for her, I’m very happy for them,” Hogan said in an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com. “I think they’re perfect for each other. I wish them the best.”
David Houston, Hogan’s attorney, echoed his sentiment, touching on the couple’s contentious split and how they’ve seemed to move on from that dark period: “Obviously, when you go through a divorce, there is a great deal of emotion and you go through your ups and downs. He was married to her for 23 years so there is a certain degree of affection and he does wish her the best.”
Meanwhile, daughter Brooke, who is one year older than Hill, bares a negative stance towards her mother’s beau.
“He is a loser,” she was quoted last year as saying. “I don’t have a problem with age; it’s more about character. Her love is not real and not right.”
The wedding is reportedly slated to take place next summer aboard Linda’s yacht named ‘Alimoney’. The article also notes that one of the places they’re registered at is Game Spot.
Check out these pictures of Linda Hogan with her 21-year old boyfriend, Charlie Hill:
CNN.com has a video interview with Linda Bollea, ex-wife of Hulk Hogan.
Now that her divorce has blown over and her facetime on TMZ.com has died down, Linda is still on television for some reason talking about the only thing she’s really qualified at – being a “cougar.” Linda describes life after being married to Hulk Hogan, and her relationship with 21-year old Charlie Hill.
Host Joy Behar (also from ABC’s “The View”) tells Linda that she she is cautious about dating a much younger man, because she’s afraid he’ll yell out “mommy” when they’re in bed.
Linda Bollea, the ex-wife of Hulk Hogan, has reached a confidential settlement with the family of John Graziano, who was seriously injured in a car wreck involving Nick Hogan back in 2007.
Graziano family attorney George Tragos told Florida’s St. Petersburg Times:
“Linda, she was obviously in a different position than everyone else. She was in California at the time of the accident and she did not sign for Nick Bollea’s drivers license as Terry did, so she’s in a different legal position.”
A confidential settlement was also reached with Daniel Jacobs, who was allegedly racing Nick Hogan at the time of the crash and was sued along with Hulk, Linda and Nick.
Hulk Hogan and his son Nick are still defendants in the suit.
The on-again off-again feud between Hulk Hogan and ex-wife Linda appears to be on again due to Hulk described Linda as an “abusive alcoholic” in his new book, “My Life Outside the Ring.”
“As far as what he has said about Linda, it’s not accurate about her being involved with heavy alcohol and being abusive, and trying to hit Nick with a wine bottle? Absolutely false,†attorney Ray Rafool stated.
“It’s disappointing and it is irritating. We disagree and wish he would have stuck to the facts instead of sensationalism to sell his book. It does reheat a lot of stuff, but it makes her feel all the more happy that she’s divorced and away from him. He’s Jennifer’s problem now.â€
“You can now understand the fear that Linda had when she was going through the divorce because she knows his personality, heard these rumors, knew what he was doing, and that’s the reason why she was so concerned. We’re thankful that at this point, he has straightened his life out,†Rafool said.
A rep for Hulk says that he “stands by what is written in the book.â€
